ColorKey+ takes

advantage

the

intensive ergonomic research conducted

Tektronix

and

other

research sites

to determine the

optimum

application of color to

man/machine

interraces.

The

overall ColorKey+ display is sub-

divided into specific runctional areas, each with color coding geared

optimize user interaction.

For

instance,

the user's work area

coded with white characters on a blue background to clarify the text, minimize glare prob-

lems and reduce eyestrain.

The

soft key labels use black

characters

on a yellow background for quick reference

and easy readability.

TNIX

messages use red since this color

demands

immediate

attention.

COLORKEY+

ColorKey+ uses a

"programmed

key" format

that

simplifies command

entry

and

keeps the

number

of required

keystrokes to an absolute minimum.

The

user

presented with a

set

of"

current

key labels" across the

bottom

the display

that

are associated with eight "soft" keys on the keyboard.

Further,

the

soft key system is arranged

a hierarchical

manner

for simple

and

systematic access

all the 856X's soCtware development

and

debug tools.

For

instance, the top layer of the hierarchy presents

current

key labels to select the

major

tools within the syfr

tern. Once a tool has been selected,

the

next layer presents key labels naming

the

major

functions

the tool.

The next layer might define specific operations within a selected function. In this manner, each user has a simple,

self-explanatory

path

through the entire system.

Also,

ColorKey+ adds an

extra

level of intelligence to the soft keys which makes user interaction faster

than

ever.

\Vhenever you are

prompted

for a command parameter,

ColorKey+

retains

your

input.

The

next time you use

the command,

your

last

parameter

entry

will

appear

as one of the function keys. You now have the option of

using the function key or

typing

in a new parameter, if needed.

COLORKEY+

A good user interface lets you

start

work on a design project with

advance knowledge of the microcomputer

design system. A

better

interface teaches you the specifics or

the

system while you

interact

with it.

The

best

interface allows you

freely intermix interface commands with

actual

system commands. This way, you benefit

from the

tutorial

aspects or the user interface,

but

can

opt

for

the

efficiency

system commands

any time you

wish.

ColorKey+ gives you all these ca.pabilities.

For

instance, ir you are entering commands via

the

user interrace

keys, ColorKey+ will display the actual

TNIX

commands

that

would perform the same operations.

you

become more familiar with the command set, you can

enter

TNIX

commands

any time

interact

directly with

the system,

and

also use

ColorKey+

when you need to.

8561

Software

Development

Station

The Tektronix 8561 Software Development

Unit

provides a powerful and complete set of microcomputer design

tools

the smaller design

team

while accommodating

ruture

expansion through a simple, cost-effective upgrade

path.

The

basic 8561 fully

supports

two workstations, which

may

be either

standard

CRT

terminals or

Tektronix

8540 Integration Units designed specifically to handle

hardware/software

integration tasks

through

real-time emu-

lation. Through

a series of upgrade options, this basic package can be expanded to accommodate up to

eight

wor kstations.

The basic version of the 8561 includes an

LSI 11/23 IS-bit processor, 256Kb

RAM, 13.6 Mb

hard

disk storage,

1 Mb

of flexible disk storage, two user

ports

and two line

printer

ports.

This

basic system can be easily upgraded

within

the

same mainframe to up to eight user ports and 35.6 Mb

hard

disk storage and 1 Megabyte

main

memory.

All versions

of the 8561 run under TNIX*, an exceptionally powerful operating system derived by

Tektronix
